OUR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS ENTER THE NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM BY TAKING THE PSAT.
[00:05:03]
THE PSAT SERVES AS INITIAL SCREENING FOR PROGRAM APPLICANTS.APPROXIMATELY 34,000 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WERE MADE NATIONAL MERIT COMMENDED STUDENTS ACROSS THE NATION.

>> THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.
WE HAVE THREE STUDENTS HERE OUT OF OUR FOUR.
THE FIRST ONE I WANT TO INTRODUCE IS [INAUDIBLE].
>> MY PARENTS ARE RIGHT OVER THERE.
>>MY PARENTS ARE RIGHT OVER THERE.
>> THE FOURTH STUDENT IS [INAUDIBLE], HE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT.
I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THESE FINE YOUNG MEN, AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB NOT JUST WITH THEIR ACADEMICS, BUT THEY REPRESENT OUR SCHOOL IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS ON SOME FORM OF EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY, AND MANY OF THEM HAVE COMPETED AT THE STATE LEVEL, AND THOSE THINGS TOO.
THEY'VE GOT A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF THEM, AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THEM.
CONGRATS TO THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL.
>> ARE THESE SENIORS? AND CAN YOU TELL US WHERE THEY'RE HEADED IF THEY KNOW?

>>UP NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE [INAUDIBLE].
>> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR. LEE.
WE ARE HERE, AFTER A LONG AWAITED PAUSE FOR SOME SPECIAL KIDS WHO WERE NOT AT OUR BOARD MEETING LAST MAY AND THERE'S [INAUDIBLE] OCTOBER BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE TRIED TO DO IT BUT HAD A LITTLE SNAFU WITH SCHEDULING, BUT WE'VE GOTTEN THEM HERE TODAY, AND WE'RE HAPPY.
>> BUT WE ASK THAT THE WICHITA FALLS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOGNIZE A TEXAS STATE, [INAUDIBLE] MUSIC QUALIFIERS FROM RIDER HIGH SCHOOL AS SUBMITTED AND RECOMMENDED BY DR. DONNY LEE, SUPERINTENDENT.
I AM GOING TO INVITE UP MRS. NORMAN, AYRIAN NORMAN, THEIR ASSISTANT CHOIR DIRECTOR AT RIDER.
SHE IS GOING TO INTRODUCE THESE SPECIAL KIDS TO YOU.
>> THESE STUDENTS ARE REALLY INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, AND WE'RE REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF THEM.
THEY WORKED REALLY, REALLY HARD ALL SPRING SEMESTER ON THESE.
AND ALL OF THEM WENT TO STATE LAST MAY, AND MANY OF THEM GOT ONES AGAIN AT STATE OR TWOS, AND THEY DID A REALLY FANTASTIC JOB.
[OVERLAPPING] [NOISE] [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE].
[00:10:16]
>> NEXT UP IS BRAYDEN JENNINGS.
>> AND BRAYDEN'S FAMILY IS ALSO HERE TONIGHT.
>> I BELIEVE OLIVIA'S MOM IS HERE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT? [OVERLAPPING]
>> RUBY IS ALSO HEADED TO OUR FINAL ROUND OF ALL STATE AUDITIONS, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED FOR HER.
>> THESE STUDENTS HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB.
I'VE HAD MOST OF THEM SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SO THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB.
WE ALSO HAVE AN AWARD HERE FOR ONE OF THESE STUDENTS, SHE WAS A TEXAS MUSIC SCHOLAR LAST YEAR.
THIS IS A REALLY DIFFICULT AWARD TO ACHIEVE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT AS FOR EVERY SIX WEEKS THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR, AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN ALL-REGION CHOIR, WHICH IS A HUGE FEAT IN AND OF ITSELF.
THAT AWARD WILL GO TO OLIVIA LANE.
OLIVIA, IF YOU WILL COME BACK AND GET THIS OTHER AWARD.
>> THAT IS OUR RIDER FINAL STUDENTS.
>> YOU GUYS OPEN UP YOUR CERTIFICATES AND SQUEEZE IN.
>> MAYBE SHIFT THIS WAY JUST A LITTLE SO I CAN GET EVERYBODY IN THE PICTURE.
>> CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU PARENTS FOR JOINING US, WE'RE PROUD OF YOUR KIDS.
NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT PART OF OUR MEETING.
[V. PUBLIC COMMENT]
WE DO HAVE SOME SPEAKERS TONIGHT, I THINK THIS IS A TEST.GABRIELLA CAN YOU HELP ME WITH YOUR LAST NAME.
>> OKAY. GOOD. GABRIELLA KENNETH, WE'LL START WITH YOU.
>> I'M SHORT HERE SO I APOLOGIZE IF I CAN'T USE THE MIC.
>> [INAUDIBLE] CAN YOU HELP HER WITH THE MIC?
>> HAVE THE TIMER ROLLING, WE HAVE THREE MINUTES.
>> I AM ONE OF THOSE SUBSTITUTES FOR THE DISTRICT, AND I WANT TO COME IN HERE AND TELL Y'ALL HOW WE'RE FEELING AS SUBSTITUTES.
I WAS READY TO WRITE MY RESIGNATION TODAY.
JUST A FEW THINGS I'VE NOTICED, THE BEHAVIORS IN THE SCHOOLS.
I EVEN REACHED OUT TO YOU DOMINIC CART ABOUT THE SUBSTITUTE PARKING WHICH I'M GLAD YOU RESPONDED BACK.
BUT I ASKED TO HAVE A SEAT WITH YOU, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK SO I WAS WONDERING.
WHEN WE WALK INTO THESE NEW SCHOOLS, WE DON'T GET TOLD WHERE THE CLASSROOMS ARE SOMETIMES, WE DON'T GET A MAP.
WHEN WE WALK INTO THE CLASSROOMS SOMETIMES, I DON'T EVEN HAVE STUFF TO DO FOR THE KIDS BECAUSE I'M NOT GETTING MUCH STUFF.
I WAS AT ONE SCHOOLS TODAY, I WAS READY TO LEAVE AT 10 O'CLOCK.
I HAVE STUDENTS THAT WAS ARGUING WITH ME, STUDENTS WHO WERE SCREAMING ACROSS THE ROOM.
THEY JUST KEPT FLYING AROUND THE ROOM.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTROL THIS BECAUSE I'VE ASKED HIM SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP TALKING, STOP SCREAMING AND THEY WON'T LISTEN.
I ASK [NOISE], WHY DO YOU DO THIS? THEY STRAIGHT UP TOLD ME, THEY DON'T RESPECT THE SUBS.
THEY THINK THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SUB.
[00:15:01]
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THAT BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.THIS IS MY THIRD YEAR TEACHING, THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST YEAR I'VE HAD AS A SUBSTITUTE.
I WOULD SAY, IF Y'ALL CAN, JUST PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE SCHOOLS ON HOW THE KIDS ARE BEHAVING.
WHEN I WAS IN THE SUBSTITUTE ORIENTATION TRAINING, I DIDN'T GET TAUGHT ON HOW TO HANDLE SUCH A WAY.
I WAS LEFT IN A ROOM BY MYSELF, WITH STUDENTS FROM SPECIAL ED.
I LEARNED AFTER SCHOOL YEAR, THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT WHEN WE DON'T GET TAUGHT.
IT'S JUST VERY NERVE-WRACKING TO WALK INTO SO MANY SCHOOLS AND KEEP HAVING THE SAME BEHAVIORS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I WAS READY TO QUIT ALL MY JOBS FOR THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, I CAN'T HANDLE THESE ANYMORE.
IF Y'ALL COULD, JUST PLEASE GO INTO THESE SCHOOLS, SEE HOW THESE KIDS ARE ACTING, IT'S NOT OKAY ANYMORE.
I HAVE KIDS ARGUING WITH ME, I HAVE KIDS GNAWING AT ME AND WHILE I'M TRYING TO DEAL WITH THAT, BUT ALSO TEACH THE CLASSROOM, MY TIME IS NOW GETTING WASTED AND NOW I'M HAVING TO SKIP A LESSON AND THEY GO AND SWITCH TO THE NEXT CLASS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW, I NEED Y'ALL UP IN THESE SCHOOLS, IT'S GETTING BAD.
I KNOW SOME OF THESE STAFFS HERE, I DON'T GET PAID $90 A DAY.
HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT, IT'S NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW I HAVE OTHER JOBS, YOU KNOW MY FAMILY.
I THINK I GET PAID MORE WITH THEM, BUT I CHOOSE TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS BECAUSE I LOVE THE DISTRICT.
I WENT TO TO RIDER MYSELF, I LOVE THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT.
BUT IF I'M GETTING TREATED LIKE THIS BY STUDENTS, I DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT ANY MORE.
IT'S BECOMING A REPETITION BETWEEN ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS.
I STOPPED WORKING AT MCNEIL FOR SOMETHING BECAUSE OF THE KIDS CUSSING EACH OTHER.
I DON'T WANT WORK IN THAT DISTRICT ANYMORE, IF THAT'S WHAT KEEPS HAPPENING.
>> NEXT, WE'LL HEAR FROM VANITY WASHINGTON.
[BACKGROUND] WELL, YOU'RE UP MRS. WASHINGTON.
>> GOOD EVENING. MAY MY SPOKEN WORDS, MY UNSPOKEN THOUGHTS BE PLEASING EVEN TO YOU, O LORD MY ROCK, AND MY REDEEMER.
WITH THIS PRAYER FROM THE BOOK OF HISTORY CALLED THE HOLY BIBLE, I COME TO YOU ALL TODAY IN THE NAME OF MY SAVIOR, FRIEND, AND KING, JESUS CHRIST IN THE SPIRIT OF PEACE, LOVE, AND TRUTH.
MY NAME IS VANITY J WASHINGTON, VANITY LIKE A MIRROR.
I'VE BEEN A CERTIFIED EDUCATOR SINCE DECEMBER OF 2006, AND EMPLOYED IN SOME WAY BY THE WFISD SINCE JANUARY 2007.
I HAVE LEARNED TO SPEAK WHEN GOD TELLS ME TO SPEAK, AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD TOLD ME TO FIRST ENCOURAGE THOSE OF YOU ON THIS BOARD WHO PROCLAIM TO BE BORN AGAIN THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN THIS HOLY BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE, HISTORY BOOK.
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM, YOU WERE BORN TO SERVE JESUS CHRIST IN ALL THAT YOU THINK, HEAR, SAY, AND DO.
TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED.
GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU AS HIS OWN AND TO BE KINGS AND QUEENS OF WFISD, SO YES, MUCH IS REQUIRED FROM YOU BY GOD, YOUR COLLEAGUES, AND YOUR EMPLOYEES AND WHATSOEVER YOU DO IN WORD OR DEED, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS.
MAKE SURE THAT CHRIST IS PLEASED WITH YOUR DECISIONS EVEN IN THE WORKPLACE, BECAUSE OBEYING JESUS CHRIST SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST PRIORITY, AND HISTORY AS HIS CREATION AND AS AN HEIR OF GOD.
FOR GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER, AND OF LOVE, AND OF A SOUND MIND.
YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO IS YOUR STRENGTH.
NOW, TO THOSE WHO REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE, LET'S MOVE ON.
I'LL BE READING SEVERAL QUESTIONS TO YOU, MANY ARE RHETORICAL.
WHY HAS SEEMINGLY NO EFFORT BEEN PUT FORWARD TO FIGURE OUT A FAIR WAY TO INCLUDE ELIGIBLE SUBS INTO THE RETENTION BONUS FOR ALL WFISD EMPLOYEES AS INITIALLY STATED BY WFISD BEFORE BEING AMENDED AFTER BEING CHALLENGED? WHO ARE WFISD SUBS EMPLOYED BY? DO THE SUBS NOT NEED TO BE RETAINED? ARE SUBS NOT VALUABLE ENOUGH FOR RETENTION BONUS? HOW VITAL ARE WFISD SUBS IN THE WFISD WORKWEEK? SUBS ARE CERTIFIED TO WATCH CLASSROOMS EVEN WHEN AIDES ARE NOT LEGALLY, HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS? BY THE WAY, ALL AROUND THE DISTRICT AIDES ARE WATCHING CLASSROOMS AS SUBS DAILY, IS THIS NOT ILLEGAL? HOW MUCH TIME DO SUBS DEDICATE TO THE WFISD AS A WHOLE? EVEN WITHIN THE SUBS FLEXIBILITY AND CONVENIENCE BEING ABLE TO WORK FOR MULTIPLE DISTRICTS AND CHOOSING WHEN TO WORK IS IT NOT IMPORTANT TO WFISD THAT SUBS ARE CHOOSING TO HELP THE WFISD TEAM WITHIN THEIR FREEDOMS? ALSO, SUBS, DON'T THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW A SPECIFIC SET OF GUIDELINES? WILL WFISD BE ABLE TO CARRY ON WITHOUT SUBS? IT SEEMS LIKE WFISD BELIEVES THAT IT'S FAIR TO MISHANDLE VALUABLE AND VITAL EMPLOYEES.
[00:20:03]
THE SUBS ARE ALSO VITAL EMPLOYEES OF WFISD, IS IT A RIDICULOUS ACT TO EQUALLY INCLUDE SUBS INTO PAY RAISES AND BONUSES DUE TO ALL WFISD WORKERS? THAT'S MY TIME, THANK YOU.>> NEXT, WE HAVE VALERIE RHODES, ALSO KNOWN AS PIM.
>> IT'S BEEN SOME TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN BEFORE THE BOARD MS. VALERIE RHODES, AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY AND I'M GLAD EVERYBODY HAS COME TO BE YEAR SO FAR HELPED ME REALIZE IT'S GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE.
I'VE COME TODAY BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS SOMETHING.
HIGH SCHOOLS THROUGH JUNIOR HIGHS, READY FOR THE MOVE, READY THE CHAIN, FOR PRAYING THAT EVERYTHING IN THE ROAD IS PAVED AND EVERYTHING WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
IN SAYING THAT, I DID WANT TO BRING TO ATTENTION ONE THING.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION BECAUSE IT MAY AFFECT JUST MORE THAN ONE PERSON.
IN 2019, DIANN TAYLOR WAS HONORED BY THE SCHOOL.
SHE'S STILL READ AS KIRBY MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE LIBRARY WAS NAMED AFTER HER.
THE LIBRARY WAS CALLED THE DIANN TAYLOR LIBRARY OF EXCELLENCE.
THE LIBRARY WAS SUPPOSED TO DEDICATED IN 2015, WAS NOW DEDICATED IN 2019 BECAUSE CONSTRUCTION PUT IT BACK.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE LIBRARY WAS NAMED AFTER MS. TAYLOR'S BECAUSE SHE WAS A LONGTIME PRINCIPLE THERE.
WE TALKED ABOUT DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS, SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY AT HER SCHOOL.
ALSO SHE HAS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL, KIRBY JUNIOR HIGH AT TEXAS BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL, KIRBY JUNIOR HIGH.
WHEN MY SON WAS GOING THERE THEN NUMBER ONE MAGNET SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY.
DIANN TAYLOR'S LIBRARY IS AT KIRBY, WHICH IS DUE TO CLOSE.
CAN WE MOVE INTO HERSHEY WHICH WILL BE OPENED AND KEEP UP HER LEGACY? SHE'S DONE SO MUCH IN THE COMMUNITY.
SHE'S STILL ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
SHE'S STILL ACTIVE WITH CHILDREN.
SHE STILL JUST DOES WHATEVER SHE CAN, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'RE FROM, WHATEVER OR WHO YOU ARE.
I'M HOPING THAT IF THERE ARE OTHER BUILDINGS AT THE HALLS OF THE LIBRARY'S NAMED AFTER A PRESTIGIOUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE A LOT IN THEIR COMMUNITY THAT THEY FOLLOW TO THE NEW HIGH SCHOOLS AND THE NEW SCHOOLS AS WELL.
WHETHER THE NEW HIGH SCHOOLS NAMED AFTER THESE PEOPLE, ALL THIS POPE, THE JUNIOR PROM OR NOT, WHO KNOWS? BUT I WOULD ASK YOU TO LOOK INTO THAT.
MAYBE YOU HAVE A SPECIAL NAME.
YOU WILL GET THAT ABOUT MOVING THESE NAMES TO THE NEW SCHOOLS.
>> ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT COMMENT IS FROM WILMA BARRINGTON.
FIRST OF ALL, I'VE LEARNED TO CONGRATULATE THE GROUP FOR A NEW DIRECTION AND READERSHIP.
>> AS STATED, MY NAME IS ROMA FINAM, REALLY ADDRESSING SOMEONE.
I STAND HERE AS A LONG-TERM SUB, AND THE POSITION IS FACILITATOR FOR A SPEECH THERAPY.
I AM A RETURNING SUB, AND I RECRUITED FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY ALSO RETURNED.
I HAVE A RAPPORT WITH THE LEADER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF SPECIAL ED AND WE ENJOY OUR JOB.
WE ARE THERE EVERY DAY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
IF THEY NEED US ON FRIDAYS, WE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THEM AS WELL.
WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY AS A TEACHER.
THE FACILITATOR IS THE LAZY EYE BETWEEN THE SPEECH THERAPIST AND THE STUDENT.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PICK THEM UP AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY BE TAKEN CARE OF WHILE THEY'RE GETTING THEIR THERAPY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE ASSIGNED WHEN SCHOOLS STARTED IN AUGUST, THE ASSIGNMENTS FROM AUGUST TO MAY, THAT'S THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR IS LONG TERM.
LIKE I SAID, WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY VERY SERIOUS,
[00:25:05]
AND WE ENJOY WHAT WE DO.LAST YEAR, WE HAD AN INCENTIVE.
WE DID NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT STEP FOR THE BONUS THAT WAS GIVEN.
I'M HERE FOR CONSIDERATION IN REGARDS TO SO THAT YOU WOULD TAKE IN CONSIDERATION OF LOOKING AT THE FINANCE HERE AND SEE IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOME FORM OF INCENTIVE FOR US.
BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, DECEMBER, IT'S A SHORT MONTH.
THIS MONTH BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR IS OVER.
LAST YEAR WE HAD AN INCENTIVE.
IF WE WERE 10 OR 12 DAYS, WE WOULD GET EXTRA.
NOTHING BUT DEALS ON THE SIDE.
ALL I'M SAYING IS WE'VE- [NOISE]
>> LIKE FOR YOU TO I GOT THREE MINUTES, MY TIME IS UP, THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE ON TO TORTURE SPECIAL DISCUSSION ITEMS.
[VI. REPORTS OR SPECIAL DISCUSSION ITEMS]
THE NEXT ONE UP IS THE INTRUDER DETECTION AUDIT REPORT FINDINGS REGARDING OUR SIGHT SECURITY.>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, MY RESUME IS WITH ME, THIS IS A CANON STATEMENT, SO I'LL APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] THE TOP PRIORITY OF WFISD AND THE STATE OF TEXAS IS KEEPING STUDENTS AND STAFF SAFE EVERY DAY.
THE TEA RECENTLY CONDUCTED AN INTERIOR DETECTION AUDIT AT ONE OR MORE OUR CAMPUSES.
THE AUDITS TEST WHETHER CAMPUS IS ACCESSIBLE TO AN UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUAL.
THIS AUDIT CONDUCTED AS PART OF GOVERNOR ABBOTT SCHOOL SAFETY DIRECTIVES FOR ALL SCHOOL SYSTEMS SEEKS TO HELP DISTRICTS IDENTIFY HOW CAMPUSES CAN OCCUR THIS API FOR STUDENTS, SUCH AS ENSURING EXTERIOR DOORS ARE LOCKED.
THE AUDIT PROVIDES US WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SAFER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.
WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR DISTRICT SCHOOL SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE TRAINING OUR STAFF AND SECURING OUR DOORS FOR THE PROTECTION OF EVERYONE AT OUR CAMPUSES.
THE SUPPORT FROM THE STATE AND CONDUCTING THE INTRUDER DETECTION AUDITS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY ACTIONS WE ARE TAKING TO ENSURE OUR STUDENTS SAFE.
WE KNOW THAT THIS WORK DOES NOT END, AND WE APPRECIATE THE BOARD SUPPORT.
WE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE LIKELY VERY INTERESTED IN THE DETAILS OF THE AUDIT RESULT IS HOWEVER, IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE STUDENTS THAT WE DO NOT SHARE THIS INFORMATION TO THE BROADER PUBLIC AS IT COULD LEAD TO COMPROMISING IMPORTANT STATE OF CAMPUS SECURITY INFORMATION.
SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE INSURER DETECTION AUDIT WILL BE DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WITH THE SAFETY AND SECURITY COMMITTEE, WHICH WE'VE DONE SO WELL.
WFISD IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE AND SECURE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.
>> THANK YOU. ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE HE LEAVES THAT MIGHT COME? I THINK ALL IN ALL THAT FROM THE MEETING TODAY IS THAT WE'RE HIGHLY AWARE OF THE NEED FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY AND WE'RE MAKING GREAT STRIDES AND WE ARE MAKING GREAT IMPROVEMENTS.
IT'S TOP OF MIND, OUR KIDS SAFETY.
THAT'S WHAT VERY INTERESTED IN AND WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS, SO WE HOPE YOU'LL FOLLOW US ON THAT.
THANK YOU. DR. LEE, YOU'RE UP NEXT.
[VII. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT]
>> PRESIDENT GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS IN REGARDS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT TODAY.
>> THAT WAS THE CUNNINGHAM EXPRESS, THAT WAS THAT PICTURE.
THOSE KIDS ARE LEARNING LIFE SKILLS REGARDING DELIVERING MAIL TO THEIR TEACHERS.
SO, I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT UP THERE THIS PAST WEEK.
HERE IS OUR ENROLLMENT: OUR ENROLLMENT IS 12,867, HASN'T DROPPED MUCH FROM THE LAST BOARD MEETING.
WE'VE BEEN HOLDING PRETTY STEADY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
WE STARTED AT 129,540, BUT OUR ADA HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND HAS SLIPPED EVERY WEEK.
ADA, FOR THE AUDIENCE AND THE PEOPLE WATCHING,
[00:30:01]
IS THE AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE.THAT'S HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE COMING TO SCHOOL.
SO 94% OF OUR KIDS ARE COMING TO SCHOOL EACH DAY OR EACH WEEK, AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY STARTED THE SEASON WHEN THEY GET SICK A LOT.
SO DECEMBER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY, IT'S GOING TO START GOING DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THAT'S HOW SCHOOLS ARE FUNDED, AND SO WE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO NOT ONLY HOW MANY KIDS WE HAVE, KIDS AND SEATS, BUT THE AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE AT THE SCHOOL.
>> BEFORE YOU GO ON, THOSE ARE TWO WONDERFUL JEFFERSON STUDENTS RIGHT THERE ON THE VERY FRONT, AND THEY SING VERY WELL.
>> THEY ARE BOTH CHOIR DIRECTORS.
>> TAKE IT AWAY. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: AS SOME OF YOU MAYBE AWARE, IT'S THE FOURTH SESSION ENDED, AND GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS.
GOOD NEWS IS THAT VOUCHERS DID NOT PASS.
SO THAT MEANS THAT THERE WON'T BE ANY PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS GOING INTO PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR CHARTER SCHOOLS.
THE DOUBLE-EDGE SWORD ABOUT THAT IS THEY SAID, "OKAY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PASS VOUCHERS; WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU ANY ADDITIONAL SCHOOL FUNDING." SO NO FUNDING FOR TEACHERS, NO ADDITIONAL FUNDING PROCEDURES MENTIONED, SAFETY, SPECIAL-ED, NOTHING.
THEN THE GOVERNOR DOUBLED DOWN AND SAID, ''I'M GOING TO RUN A PRIMARY OPPONENT AGAINST EVERYONE WHO VOTED AGAINST VOUCHERS.'' SO IT'S GETTING REAL UGLY, POLITICAL, AND ALL THAT.
BUT VOUCHERS DIDN'T PASS AGAIN, AND SO WE'VE GOT A YEAR AND A HALF TILL WE'LL FIGHT THAT SAME FIGHT AGAIN.
UNTIL THE RULES ARE APPLES TO APPLES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE FOR IT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.
DESPERATELY NEEDED SOME SCHOOL FUNDING AND DIDN'T GET IT.
>> ALSO, THE FUNDING FOR THE MANDATE OR PROPOSAL THAT EACH CAMPUS HAVE A POLICEMAN IN-HOUSE.
>> THEY, INITIALLY, GAVE US SOME FUNDING, BUT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE US ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO FULLY FUND IT.
>> THEY ARE PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR SAFETY.
>> JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT.
>> AND THE SPECIAL-ED NUMBERS JUST CONTINUE TO GO UP, AND WE NEED THAT FUNDING TO HAVE TO MATCH THE INCREASE, AND IT DID NOT. HERE WE GO, AGAIN.
>> THERE YOU GO. WRITE TO THE LEGISLATOR, IN REGARDS TO THAT.
WE'VE GOT SOME NEW HIRES WHO HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT THE MOST RECENT AT MEMORIAL.
THESE ARE A COUPLE OF THEM, OF COURSE.
EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW WHO THEIR COORDINATORS WERE GOING TO BE BECAUSE A LOT OF THE HIRING IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE FROM THAT, THAT'S [INAUDIBLE].
AND THEN YOU SAW SOME JROTC STUDENTS IN HERE TODAY.
BUT THE LEADERS OF THAT, SO IT'D BE ROBERT SMITH AT MEMORIAL, SALVADOR MONTEZ ARE GOING TO BE THOSE TWO.
THEN OUR THEATER DIRECTOR IS GOING TO BE ZACK JACKSON.
OVER AT LEGACY, LAWRENCE JOHNSON IS GOING TO BE LEADING THAT GROUP.
AND THEN THE ROTC IS KEVIN HAGE.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MORE BECAUSE OF THE SIZE CAMPUS, A LITTLE BIT MORE STUDENTS, DAVID JENSEN AND THEN RONALD WILLIAMS. THEATER: JACK PITTMAN.
SO, ALL THIS IS ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES, AND WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT AT THE LAST MEETING THAT THE CALENDAR WE'RE FOLLOWING THAT TO THE MONTH.
NOW THE FUN PART IS GOING TO BEGIN WITH TEACHERS AND COACHES.
AND HERE IT COMES RIGHT AFTER THE CHRISTMAS BREAK.
YOU'LL BE HEARING A LOT ABOUT THAT.
BUT, THE COACH CAN'T TEACH UNLESS THEY ARE CERTIFIED TO TEACH THAT.
IN SOME INSTANCES, THERE'S A LOT OF TRYING TO MATCH THAT BIG PUZZLE TOGETHER.
SO, OUR PRINCIPALS, OUR AD, A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS.
SO, TRYING TO GET ALL THOSE PIECES ALIGNED TO RELIEVE SOME ANXIETY ON, "WHERE AM I TEACHING?'' "WHAT CAMPUS AM I GOING TO?" THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION ALL THE TIME.
THOSE THAT WANT TO COME AGAIN, JUST LET ME KNOW.
I THINK IT'S EYE-OPENING FOR THIS BOARD AND NEED TO GO INSIDE AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE THE CLAY.
YOU CAN HEAR IT BUT UNTIL YOU SEE IT AND GO DO IT.
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
I WENT IN THOSE IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. THAT'S A PICTURE.
SEE A PLUMBING CLASS AND SOME STUDENTS TEACHING ME, OR TELLING ME WHAT THIS THING WAS AND HOW IT WORKED IN PLUMBING AND IT WAS WAY OVER MY HEAD.
IT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO HEAR WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THERE.
THEY CAN BECOME CERTIFIED PLUMBERS AND THEN LATER ON, MASTER PLUMBERS, AND WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY SHARP KIDS IN THERE.
FACEBOOK LIVE. WE'LL BE TELLING A LOT OF INFORMATION RIGHT BEFORE THE CHRISTMAS BREAK, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THIS THURSDAY, 5:30.
OUR GUEST IS GOING TO BE FROM SCOTLAND PARK; IT'S FOURTH GRADER JASE FERGUSON.
THAT ISN'T JASE IN THE PICTURE; THAT'S THE ONE WHO DID IT LAST TIME.
A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT REALIGNMENT, AND SO WE'LL BE TOUCHING ON THIS ON FACEBOOK LIVE.
THERE WAS SOME WORRY AND SPECULATION THAT MEMORIAL LEGACY WOULD NOT BE IN THE SAME CLASSIFICATION,
[00:35:02]
WHICH WE KNEW THAT, THAT WOULDN'T BE A GREAT THING INITIALLY.THANK GOODNESS [INAUDIBLE] THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY ON THIS AND THE SECOND IT CAME OUT, SENT THIS LIST.
AND SO, FIVE-DAY DIVISION TWO, SECOND FROM THE TOP IS WHERE WE WILL LINE UP AND THAT'S THE ALIGNMENT, 1,350 TO 1,902.
IT WAS 1868 WAS LEGACY, SO GOT UNDER ABOUT 34 KIDS, AND MEMORIAL IS 1,640 SOMETHING.
>> IT'S DIFFERENT, COMPARING [NOISE]
>>WE'LL HAVE THAT CROSS-TOWN RIVALRY FEEL AND THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.
>> SO THAT WAS A BIG WIN. BIG WIN FOR US.
WE TALKED LAST TIME, WHEN WE WERE VOTING OR THINKING ABOUT VOTING YOU WERE, IN REGARDS TO TEXAS AMPLIFY CURRICULUM, WHICH IS A READING CURRICULUM AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVELS, AND WE ALREADY DO IT AT THREE CAMPUSES: BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, BURGESS AND SOUTHERN HILLS.
MCCOY FOUNDATION APPROACHED US AND SAID WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING BIG AND THAT IS IMPACTFUL AND MEANINGFUL.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL WAYS IS TO TEACH A KID TO READ AND GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ.
THE MCCOY FOUNDATION HAS GRANTED US THE NEXT ROUND OF TEXAS AMPLIFY CURRICULUM, AND THAT IS AT FIVE CAMPUSES THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE SCREEN: CUNNINGHAM, FAIN, SCOTLAND PARK, ZUNDY, AND FRANKLIN.
WE'RE REALLY APPRECIATIVE FOR THAT GRANT, TO GIVE THOSE STUDENTS AT THOSE ELEMENTARIES AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME CURRICULUM THAT THE OTHER THREE HAVE.
THEN WE'LL ROLL OUT ONE MORE WAVE THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND HAVE ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARIES USING TEXAS AMPLIFY READING CURRICULUM.
WANTED TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK THE MCCOY FOUNDATION.
HEARD FROM THEM TODAY, AND THEY SAID ''CHECKS IN THE MAIL.'' [LAUGHTER] WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT [NOISE] SO CAN WE GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
>> THEN WE HAVE AN ED-CENTER HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE, AND THIS IS WHEN FROM NINE TO TWO, WE HAVE ALL OF OUR CAMPUS CHOIRS THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE LISTED, A LOT OF ELEMENTARIES, THEY COME AND THEY SING RIGHT HERE ON THIS BOARD ROOM ALL DAY LONG.
IF YOU WANT TO COME HEAR SOME CHRISTMAS CAROLS, SEE SOME CUTE KIDS, 9-2, AND THEN EARLY RELEASE HALF-DAY ON FRIDAY.
I DID ALSO WANT TO, SINCE WE HAVE SPEAKERS HERE TODAY, WANT TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SUBSTITUTES AND THE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ALL OF OUR SUBSTITUTES HAVE TOWARDS TEAM WFISD, AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
SOMETHING MENTIONED YOU COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT SUBSTITUTES, AND THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT.
BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE EVERYBODY WHEN YOU ARE A TEAM.
BIG, SMALL, EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
IT TAKES EVERYBODY WORKING TOGETHER.
I DID WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND THEN TELL YOU THIS BOARD HAS TALKED, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO MEANINGFULLY IMPACT SUBSTITUTES.
THAT'S IN THE WAY OF A PAY RAISE WHICH HASN'T BEEN DONE IN MAYBE A DECADE OR MORE.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT. THE OPTIONS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR WFISD.
>> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR DR. LEE? WE'LL MOVE ALONG, AND AS DR. LEE SAID, WE APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS, AND WE HEAR YOU, AND WE WANT EVERYONE TO BE APPRECIATED.
WE'RE WORKING AND TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.
[VIII. CONSENT AGENDA]
WE HAVE TWO ITEMS, MINUTES FROM OUR NOVEMBER MEETING AND MRS. CAMP, I ASSUME YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT AS YOU WERE LAST WEEK.>> AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ACCEPTING THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD FOR THE HIRSCHI REFRESH AND REPAIR.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE OUR CONSENT AGENDA?
>> THANK YOU, MR. LUKERT. A SECOND?
ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE?
>> I JUST WANTED TO ADD, IS IT OKAY BECAUSE I ATTENDED THE MEETING LAST WEEK CLIMAX?
>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
[IX. FINANCIAL SERVICES]
>> WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO FINANCIAL SERVICES.
OF COURSE, MRS. HORTON, IS UP AND SHE HAS SEVERAL ITEMS THAT NEED ATTENTION TONIGHT, THE ACTION, AND THEN [INAUDIBLE].
[00:40:03]
>> WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT PURCHASES FOR THE AMPLIFY CURRICULUM, AND AGAIN, MRS. HORTON WILL PRESENT THIS TO US.
BUT WE ARE ABLE TO DO THIS WITH EASE AND A GREAT DEAL OF CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF THE MCCOY FOUNDATION, AND IT'S REALLY SUCH A GIFT TO WICHITA FALLS.
WE APPRECIATE THEM AND THEIR BOARD: MRS. MCCOY AND THE BOARD OF THE MCCOY FOUNDATION, AND IT'S JUST A GREAT EXAMPLE OF COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP TO ENHANCE AND BUILD UP OUR DISTRICT.
AND SO WE ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE.
>> ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE WICHITA FALLS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE AMPLIFIER CURRICULUM, FROM AMPLIFY, IN THE AMOUNT AT $430,180.50 AS SUBMITTED BY LEAH HORTON, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, AND RECOMMENDED BY DR. DONNY LEE.
>> DO I HAVE A MOTION TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE?
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE PURCHASE OF AMPLIFY.
>> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MRS. HORTON?
>> THANKS TO THE MCCOY FAMILY.
>> IT'S A BIG DEAL THEY'RE INTERESTED IN THE FUTURE OF THE CHILDREN IN WICHITA FALLS.
THIS IS CRITICAL TO IMPROVING OUR READING SUCCESS AT AN EARLY AGE.
>> THANK YOU THE MCCOY FOUNDATION.

DONNY LEE, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
MEMBERSHIP FEES AND SOME ELECTIVE SERVICES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH TASB.
>> THE DISTRICT CURRENTLY UTILIZES THE LAW OF DAY FOR BOTH POLICY, SERVICES, BIBLE WORK, AND THE RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES, AND THIS IS BUDGETED IN THE GENERAL FUND.
>> THIS IS AN ACTION THAT NEEDS ATTENTION TONIGHT, OR AN ITEM THAT NEEDS ACTION TONIGHT.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THIS EXPENSE?
>> I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT OR WE APPROVE THE MEMBERSHIP.
>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY, AND DR. LEE KNOWS, THERE'S A LOT OF DISTRICTS THAT ARE LOOKING AT GETTING OUT OF TASB AND THEY'RE ALL COMING BACK BECAUSE THEY DON'T PROVIDE ALL OF THE LEGAL SERVICES AND EVERYTHING THAT TASB DOES.
SO I THINK FOR WICHITA FALLS ISD SEES THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND CONTINUES TO WORK WITH TASB, THEY'RE GOOD ORGANIZATION.
>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MRS. HORTON? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY, AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAME SIGN.
>> THIS IS A BIG ONE, MRS. HORTON.
THERE MIGHT BE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS HERE.
>> IT'S THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE WICHITA FALLS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF DESKTOP COMPUTERS FROM LIGHT SPEED IN THE AMOUNT OF $155,100 AS SUBMITTED BY LEAH HORTON, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND RECOMMENDED BY DR. DONNY LEE, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
THE COMPUTERS IN THIS PURCHASE WILL BE UTILIZED IN A CAREER, TECH LABS AND JOURNALISM LABS IN EACH NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
THE PURCHASE INCLUDE A QUANTITY OF 94 UNITS, COST AT $1,650.
EACH UNIT INCLUDES THE CPU, A SPECIALIZED KEYBOARD AND MOUSE, AND A 27-INCH CURVE MONITOR.
THIS MINIATURE WILL BE PAID WITH A COMBINATION OF BUDGETED FUNDS AND FUNDS RECEIVED FROM THE SALE OF IP ADDRESSES.
THIS REQUIRES BOARD APPROVAL FOR POLICY.
SO DO WE HAVE MOTION TO PURCHASE THE COMPUTERS FOR THE CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL?
>> I KNOW THAT WE ACCEPT THIS PURCHASE FOR TWO HIGH SCHOOLS.
>> THIS IS FOR THE CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY.
>> THESE WILL BE IN THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
>> THEY'RE CAREER AND TECH COMPUTERS THAT ARE GOING TO UTILIZED AT LEGACY AND MEMORIAL.
>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I HEARD.
MR. SCROGGINS HAS MADE THE CORRECT MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND?
>> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
>> THIS IS SO FAR OVER MY PAY GRADE.
[00:45:03]
[LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING]>> THEY SOUND PRETTY FABULOUS, 27 INCH CURVED SCREEN. WE LIKE THAT.
>> WE HAVE SOME GREAT E-SPORTS TEAMS AT TWO OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS CURRENTLY, AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS WITH THE NEW SCHOOLS WAS THAT THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC E-SPORTS LAB BUILT.
WHAT I CAME UP WITH WAS BUYING E-SPORTS RATED EQUIPMENT, WHICH IS ALSO GREAT BECAUSE IT WORKS AS WELL FOR CAD PROGRAMS, ADOBE PROGRAMS THAT RECURRENTLY TEACH.
THESE LABS WILL BE COMBO LABS.
DURING THE DAY, THERE'LL BE USED FOR THOSE FUNCTIONS, AND THEN DURING THE AFTERNOON, THERE'LL BE USED FOR E-SPORTS.
THAT WAS MY REASONING AND SOME THAT WEREN'T MOVING AHEAD WITH THESE PARTICULAR UNITS OVER THE STANDARD COMPUTERS THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY PUT IT IN A CAD LAB OR A LEARNING LAB.
>> FOR THE PUBLIC'S UNDERSTANDING AND MAYBE FOR SOME OF US ON THE BOARD, E-SPORTS, I HIGHLIGHT IS COMPUTER GAMES?
>> RIGHT. E-SPORTS IS COMPETITIVE GAMING.
>> SPONSORED BY THE UIL AND THE STATE OF TEXAS, SO WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS THAT ARE COMPETING IN THE AFTERNOON.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE GAMES.
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO PLAY ON THE TEAM.
IT'S ABOUT BEING INVOLVED IN YOUR SCHOOL.
OVER 90 PERCENT OF THE KIDS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THESE SPORTS ARE NOT IN ANY OTHER SECONDARY ACTIVITIES AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO PULL IN AND YOU'RE HOLDING GROUP OF KIDS, MAKE THEM EXCITED ABOUT BEING A MAVERICK OR MEANINGFUL LEOPARD AND ALSO TYING IN WITH UIL, THEY HAD TO KEEP YOUR GRADES UP.
THE PLAYERS, IT'S THE MANAGERS, IT'S PEOPLE THAT BROADCAST THE GAMES AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES IN WITH IT.
THERE ARE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE AT ALMOST EVERY COLLEGE NOW AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT PROGRAM.
>> WILL THESE BE DIVIDED EQUALLY BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS?
>> WILL THEY BE IN DESIGNATED AREAS?
>> YES. IT SHOWS IN A LAB AT EACH CAMPUS THAT HOLDS 30 UNITS.
IN THAT LAB, IT'S A TIERED LAB, MUCH LIKE YOU'D HAVE IN A COLLEGE OR SOMETHING.
IT HOLDS 30 UNITS IN THERE, AND THEN WE WILL ALSO HAVE 17 OR 19 UNITS.
IT'S BROKEN DOWN AND ON THE SHEET THAT'LL BE IN ALL ANIMALS.
>> BUT I'LL JUST STEP IN HERE.
HAVE YOU NOTICED IN THERE THAT WE SOLD SOME WEBSITES? WE WERE HAVING ISSUES TRYING TO FIND 94 TO BUY ALL THESE COMPUTERS THAT WE'RE TALKING TO MICHELLE WITH CTE AND ALL THAT STUFF.
HE CAME UP WITH THIS COMPROMISE.
HE FIGURED THIS OUT, HOT LODGING FUNDS.
SUDDENLY THEY WERE EVER CTE, IT'LL WORK OUT FOR FUNDS AND FOR THE E-SPORTS.
YOU HAVE MACHINE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DO EVERYTHING AND IT'S REALLY EXCITING.
THE OTHER CLASS IS A YES, U102, THAT'S A JOURNALISM CLASSROOM, THAT'S ALSO CTE COURSE.
THE FOUNDATION IS ALL CTE, THE BONUS IS THE E-SPORTS.
>> THAT DOES THE JOB FINDING THOSE FUNDS.
>> THANK YOU, KIRK. GREAT JOB. WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH [APPLAUSE] BECAUSE THAT IS TRUE ABOUT THE KIDS THAT ARE NOT IN SPORT AND THEATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I PERSONALLY KNOW SOME BOYS AND SOME KIDS THAT HAVE BEEN IN E-SPORTS.
THEY DO OFFER BIG SCHOLARSHIPS AT THE COLLEGES FOR THIS.
IT IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE KIDDOS AND AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS AND OFFER IT. THANK YOU AGAIN.
>> YES, MA'AM. I THINK IT'S THE FASTEST GROWING SPORT OR ONE OF THE FASTEST THAT'S CONSIDERED A SPORT.
I TOURED PROSPER LAST WEEK AND THEIR E-SPORTS LABS, THEY GOT BRAND NEW ONES, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY HAVE THESE EXACT GRAVITY GAMING MACHINES, AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET IN THE LABS.
>> THEY WERE JUST PACKED, SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, AND JUST LOVING IT.
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR KIDS.
>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? THIS REQUIRES ACTION.

FOR POLICY CD LOCAL, PRIOR TO ACTUAL ADVERTISING, THE BOARD SHALL DETERMINE THE PROJECT DELIVERY/CONTRACT AWARD METHOD TO BE USED FOR EACH CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT VALUED AT OR ABOVE 50,000.
BECAUSE THIS IS FOOD SERVICE, TEA RECOMMENDS THAT WE USE EITHER THE TRADITIONAL METHODS AT COMPETITIVE BIDDING OR STILL PROPOSALS.
>> ARE YOU MAKING A PROPOSAL AS TO WHICH YOU WOULD PREFER?
>> EITHER OR. JUST DO WE HAVE A PREFERENCE?
>> WE HAVE THE TRADITIONAL METHOD.
THEY'RE VERY MINDFUL OF THE BODY [INAUDIBLE]
>> JUST THE METHODOLOGY TO WHICH WE WOULD BID OUT OR DO THE SALE PROPOSALS AND THEN THAT WILL COME BACK TO FOR APPROVALS BECAUSE IT'LL BE OVER 100,000.
MR. LUKERT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION?
>> I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD FOR FOOD SERVICE WAREHOUSE COOLER REPLACEMENT.
>> THANK YOU. NOW, ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN MORE? I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED AS TO, DO WE JUST SAY THE TRADITIONAL METHOD EITHER OR?
>> I THINK THE TRADITIONAL METHOD YOU COULD DO COMPETITIVE BIDDING OR SEALED FOR VOGEL CVA.
>> BUT ARE YOU ALL SUGGESTING ONE OR THE OTHER OR WE JUST GOING TO DECIDE IT THROUGH THE POLLS?
>> THE ARCHITECT WILL BE WITH THE BIDDING AND THE COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL WILL BE WITH THE ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO ARE INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK HERE FIRST.
>> SO WE DON'T KNOW. I GUESS WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE METHOD AT THIS POINT.
